Announcement: Genital and Neonatal Herpes

Product Description,Genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection has increased considerably in the past two decades, and its most dreaded complication, neonatal herpes, remains as an uncommon though deadly threat to the neonate. Genital and Neonatal Herpes provides a thoroughly comprehensive and timely assessment of these two significant public health problems. Written by internationally recognized physicians and scientists who have themselves developed much of the knowledge on the subject, it introduces the virus biology, immunology, pathogenesis of HSV, while describing authoritatively its epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, therapy, and prevention. This unique volume manages to bridge the gap between basic virology and clinical practice, and, as such, will be invaluable to all clinicians and researchers who come across this disease, including virologists, infectious disease specialists, obstetricians, pediatricians, and gynecologists.
